The event will take place on **Friday, Aug. 30 and Saturday, Aug. 31** at a local venue, North Market.
A Vision Realized
The mastermind behind this enchanting event is Nicole McGowan, owner of North Market Venue. McGowan was inspired by the growing popularity of the show, which has captivated viewers since its release in 2020. “We watched the show and there was just a lot of buzz going around the internet about it. We host our own events at the venue and always look to do different things; we thought we could do that,” she explained.
A Night of Elegance Awaits
The **_Queen’s Ball_** is already **sold out**, and attendees are in for a treat. Upon arrival, guests will be greeted by **glowing chandeliers**, **romantic candles**, and **lavish floral arrangements**, all accentuated by a **live string quartet** that sets a regal atmosphere. The evening is designed to be a **multi-part experience** for guests, with options for attending a **5-Course Dinner & Ball Ticket** or just the **Society Member of the Ton** ball.
Five-Course Feast and Festivities
The dining experience begins at **6 p.m.** with a delectable five-course meal prepared by **Shaver’s Catering**. During dinner, the string quartet will provide enchanting melodies. “Once we start the dinner, then the string quartet will play throughout the course of the dinner,” McGowan added.
Preparing for the Ball
After dinner, guests can unwind during a **cocktail hour** while the venue is prepared for the ball. Those attending solely for the ball are expected to arrive around **7:30 p.m.** The evening will kick off with the **Queen’s Presentation**, where a **diamond of the season** will be selected, adding an air of excitement to the night.
Elegant Attire Required
To fully embrace the experience, attendees are encouraged to don **Regency era attire**. “We definitely don’t want to outshine the Queen,” McGowan humorously noted, hoping guests will embody the style of characters like **Daphne** or **Eloise**.
Music and Dancing Into the Night
As the festivities unfold, modern instrumental music will play, allowing attendees to waltz and enjoy the **never-ending flow of champagne**. Later in the evening, a DJ will take the stage to perform classical renditions of modern songs, ensuring a lively atmosphere that keeps everyone entertained while maintaining the event’s chic theme.
